Hot stage optical microscopy as an analytical tool to understand solid state changes in particle Characterization Kumar Jeetendra | May 5, 2020 When drug crystals are heated they undergo changes that can be observed under a microscope. Characteristics that can be analyzed under a microscope include melting point, melting range, crystal nucleation, crystal growth, crystal transformations and more. For example, under a microscope it is easy to see when a solid melts or how crystals nucleate and …
New method could help battle the worldwide danger of antibiotic resistance Kumar Jeetendra | July 4, 2020 Another strategy could help decrease anti-infection recommending by anticipating which medications could be viable in battling microscopic organisms in no time. Researchers at the University of Exeter have built up the technique, which permits clients to see whether a bacterium is probably going to react to anti-toxins. The examination is as of now in beginning …
Rising hydrogel material could improve oral drug delivery Kumar Jeetendra | July 17, 2020 A emerging hydrogel material with the capability to degrade and reform from the gastro intestinal tract can help scientists develop effective procedures for oral drug delivery. The team’s microrheology research is included within a guide and interior cover example from the present dilemma of Soft Issue . To describe the material and supply insight to …
Novel nanospectroscopy measures biomolecular changes induced by drugs in human cells Kumar Jeetendra | July 20, 2020 Synchrotron InfraRed Nanospectroscopy has been used for the first time to measure biomolecular changes caused by a drug (amiodarone) in human cells (macrophages) and localized at 100 nanometre scale, i.e. two orders of magnitude smaller than the IR wavelength used as probe. This was achieved at the Multimode InfraRed Imaging and Micro-Spectroscopy (MIRIAM) beamline (B22) …
Gym equipment in public rec centers have elevated levels of anti-toxin safe microbes Kumar Jeetendra | July 26, 2020 Research presented at ASM Microbe Online found that 43 percent of Staphylococcus bacteria discovered on exercise equipment in university gyms were ampicillin-resistant, with 73% of these isolates being resistant to multiple other medications. As stated by this U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 120,000 S. aureus bacteremia cases led to 20,000 deaths in …
Bruker presents Vutara™ VXL tbest-in-class super-resolution magnifying lens and spatial science investigation abilities Kumar Jeetendra | October 23, 2020 Vutara VXL serves as a biological microscopy workstation for research on DNA, RNA and proteins, from macromolecular complexes and super-structures, to chromatin structure and chromosomal substructures, to studying functional connections in genomes and in various subcellular organelles. This novel system supports innovative spatial biology research in extracellular matrix structures, extracellular vesicles (EV), virology, neuroscience, and …
Oregon scientists uncover sub-atomic instruments that produce DNA harm in sperm Kumar Jeetendra | October 25, 2020 University of Oregon biologists have used the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to identify molecular mechanisms that produce DNA damage in sperm and contribute to male infertility following exposure to heat. In humans, the optimal temperature for sperm production is just below body temperature, in a range of approximately 90-95 degrees F. Human studies have found …
Study uncovers new and basic subtleties of how photoreceptors work Kumar Jeetendra | October 26, 2020 Moving around in the half-light is difficult but not impossible. To help us in this undertaking we have the rods, a type of light-sensitive cells (photoreceptors) present in the retina of vertebrates, capable of detecting very low lights that allow to move about even in poorly lit cellars or caves. They are biological wonders capable …
Researchers devise new technique to plan HIV’s sweet shield in remarkable detail Kumar Jeetendra | October 26, 2020 Scientists from Scripps Research and Los Alamos National Laboratory have devised a method for mapping in unprecedented detail the thickets of slippery sugar molecules which help protect HIV from the immune system. Mapping these shields will give researchers a more comprehensive comprehension of why dinosaurs respond to some spots on the virus but not others, …
Cell scientists and bioimaging master collaborate to settle fourth measurement insider facts Kumar Jeetendra | October 29, 2020 Cell biologists at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and Bar-Ilan University in Israel and a bioimaging expert at the University of Central Florida are teaming up in what they expect may result in a major breakthrough in the understanding of the three-dimensional organization of the nucleus over their role in certain diseases. The dream …
Researchers use quality treatment to recover harmed optic nerve filaments Kumar Jeetendra | November 5, 2020 Scientists have used gene therapy to regenerate damaged nerve fibers from the eye, in a discovery that could aid the development of new treatments for glaucoma, one of the main causes of blindness worldwide. Axons – nerve pathways – in the adult central nervous system (CNS) do not normally regenerate after injury and disease, meaning …
CRISPR-based test could give fast, affordable testing to help control COVID-19 spread Kumar Jeetendra | December 7, 2020 Imagine swabbing your nostrils, putting the swab in a device, and obtaining a read-out on your mobile phone in 15 to 30 minutes which tells you if you’re infected with the COVID-19 virus. This has been the vision for a group of scientists at Gladstone Institutes, University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and University of …
